For future reference racing questions belong Street/Strip section. No worries though haha.
Also... you are posting this in the 4.6 section not the 5.0 section lol.

To answer the question most will say the 5.0, depending on the driver.
Most documented 1/4 mi. runs will say the same.
Also the auto tranny Camaro seems to be a weak duck. So if it's against an automatic the 5.0 can have even more of an advantage.

First of all who is stock? Is there a stock mustang out there that races? Hardly. SS are slowwwwwwwwwwwww.......Stock I have seen 13.5-14. With headers and CAI, tune I have seen very low 13s and high 12's. New fiveOh kills it. Most 4.6s with minimal mods kill it.

I spend a lot of time at the track and I agree that stock for stock the 5.0 owns the SS, but a 4.6 with minimal mods? No sir. It takes some decent modding to get the 4.6 to run with an SS.
